    Whether this is your desktop, laptop, phone, or tablet, there are countless operating systems to use for them.

    Which one(s) do you use and why?

    On my laptop (which is what I'm on most of the time), I use Windows 7, because it is the most modern and most tolerable OS. XP is outdated and no longer supported, otherwise, I'd probably be using it (maybe). Once Windows 7 is no longer supported, I'll just update to the most modern OS and deal with it.

    My laptop is running Windows 8.1 (don't like it, I prefer 8.0)
    And my phone is running Android 4.4.4, wouldn't have it any other way. I prefer Windows and Android devices to iOS/other OS devices, so it's the perfect combo for me.

    Personally I'm on a Windows 8.1 laptop (which, as Sanc said, isn't my preference) and I use an iPhone equipped with iOS 8. I'm used to iOS systems on laptops and desktops, but I really hate it on phones.

    My main computer is a Mac for art purposes and ease of use. I have a traveling laptop with Windows 8 which I use for gaming and "last-minute-out-of-town" art xD

    I'm on OS X Yosemite on my laptop and iOS 8 on my iPhone. Haven't used the iPad for a while so I'm not sure what version of iOS it's on but it's iOS which is what matters, right? Bahah. Been using Apple products for a few years now and it's getting hard to adjust to Windows again.. </3

    I run OSX Yosemite on my MacBook, and iOS 8.3 on my phone. Not that you really have any other choice with either of those devices.

    I use Windows 8.1, but only becuase it was installed by default when I bought my computer. I intend to upgrade to Windows 10 ASAP. I want my Start Menu back.

    Working with Windows 8.1 here. Don't like it either but I'm tolerating it nonetheless. Not too sure what version of android I have on my phone, but I think it was the lollipop build? Not too sure.

    That sucks, Sizinji. I've got Ubuntu running on my Laptop right now, even though it runs W7 perfectly fine. In fact, I partitioned my hard drive, so I have W7 working on it as well, for purposes that absolutely require Windows, but 98% of my usage is on my Ubuntu partition.

    On my desktop though, I have Windows 7. Mostly because of games. I'm not good enough with Wine to make games happen on this machine (but maybe I could try). Otherwise, I'd slap Ubuntu or Mint on this thing so fast it would make Bill Gates' head spin.

    (Nothing against Microsoft, I just really prefer Linux)

    I'm running OSX Yosemite on my MacBook Air and iOS 8.2 on my iPhone 4S. I've had a laptop that ran Windows 7 before, but ever since it broke down, I've switched to iOS and stuck to it ever since.

    If Windows 98 was more compatible with newer software additions like USB drives, and had a lot cleaner installations with newer iterations of Microsoft Office, I'd still be using it today.

    But noooooooooooooooooo, I'm forced to use Windows XP. Stupid Microsoft.

    Anything that came after the best OS known to man just feels so inferior by comparison.

    I only use computers, but if times are necessary, I will pop out my phone or Tablet. I don't use them often, but hey, they're there.
    I use Windows 7, and I don't think I'll be changing that anytime soon.

    As of the Windows 10 update I use Windows 10 on my computer.
    I also prefer Android, which is a perfect combo. However, I do not have a USA phone yet.
    Edit: i have plans of getting a new laptop with either windows 8 or 10
    and a blackberry

    On my laptop I run Windows 7, a really good OS, has what you need and looks pretty nice to boot. There is also a desktop computer in my house (not mine unfortunately, I'm forced to just look with envy) with Windows 8 but from what I've seen 8 looks rather... unsavory of sorts. Still, 10 looks interesting!

    And on my tablet I run some sort of android system, not entirely sure what version though haha, it literally could be anything. Still, it's a nice OS that makes navigation easy for me.

    As for the Mac OS, I've never been fussed. I've used it myself, but using Windows since the dawn of my life that I remember made using the Mac OS quite hard. I dislike it, but that's purely based off the bias I live in where I hadn't touched Mac till I was about 15 or 14.
